take a look, these are the states that john kerry won in 2004. if the president holds on to all of the kerry states, all he has to do is to add florida's 29 electoral college votes, and he gets to 275. even if he lost the diciest of the kerry states, which is new hampshire, the president would still only need florida to get to 271 and win. here's another thing to take a look at. according to nate silver of all the swing states, florida is the swingiest of them all. it's the one where the odds of victory are closest to 50/50. romney is favored slightly with a 57% chance of winning. as all of you loyal viewers know, i just moved florida into the blue column yesterday. what does that nate silver know anyway? who will the sunshine state shine upon tuesday. let's put it through the spine cycle. i went through a lot of my reasons yesterday including demographic shifts that are favorable to democrats, increased latino enthusiasm, but the other thing i really want to point to today is the obama campaign early voting turnout machine. a memo was just leake

conversely if barack obama is re-elected, he will have to work with speaker john boehner and very likely have a democratic senate. and what's fascinating about that and you've talked about it a lot, is is we do have a reverse situation in the last couple of years on our hands. he's got the leverage in the fiscal cliff. he can let this happen and republicans can decide if they want taxes to be much, much higher. republicans see their leverage coming two months after the fiscal cliff we have another debt ceiling coming up. i think a lot of folks in politics are skeptical that if the republicans lose an election, the american people are open to them triggering a debt ceiling. >> i don't think there's going to be a romney presidency but if we had one, i would love to see the first meeting between him and harry reid and he says okay, let me see your tax returns. >> exactly. i would love to see that meeting, too. and you know, i would also like to see some subsequent meetings between mitt romney and even the republican controlled house, which, as you know, has its factions that john boehner tr

what's your assessment of what happened yesterday, john? >> oh, my. a campaign event that was not a campaign event, but was a campaign event. >> and was funded by the romney campaign, to the tune, no less, of $5,000. >> of $5,000. governor romney was stuck. he had a campaign event planned for ohio, a state that he needs to win. hurricane sandy blows in, devastates everything, decides not to campaign, but he still is running for president, so he decides, i think, on paper it might have sounded like a go ahead idea, to turn their campaign event into a relief event, have people come, show up with canned goods and things, and then, you know, everyone is and looks caring and compassionate, but when you put it through the presidential election lens, it came off a little ham-handed. and now to have this new information about the campaign spending its own money to bulk up the appearance of the event, it just sort of adds to the theater of what mitt romney -- >> are you reaching for the word "crass," jonathan? >> yes, martin, i was. >> thank you. we're watchin
